SIU Library Cancels 142 Subscriptions To Save Money

(Carbondale, IL) — Researchers at Southern Illinois University will need to find a way to live without the journal “The Problems of Post Communism,” “The Journal of Taxation,” and “The Australian Journal of French Studies.” The three are part of the nearly 150 subscriptions that SIU’s Morris Library is canceling. The hope is to save about 200 thousand-dollars. SIU librarian Andrea Imre said without the subscriptions, some researchers will have to ask to borrow a copy of a journal or report from another school, because many of the works are not available on Google.
